Trey also isn't as all around of an End as say Garrett or Crosby and doesn't play nearly as many snaps and he is older. It was reported 32 mil 
per year was offered to Trey, if that is even close I think he should of taken it as it would be double what he is being paid now.

Just me, I would of taken double lol

If it's ACTUALLY double, then yes agreed he should take actually double. The problem is money you'll never see isn't double of anything.

(Just using numbers to explain my point, rather than accuracy of this specific situation with Trey.)

You currently make $1m/yr. I offer you a 3yr/$6m contract with $1.8m guaranteed.

Year 1: You get paid $900k
Year 2: You get paid $900k
Year 3: You get paid $4.2m

I fire you after Year 2.

Did you double what you were getting paid by accepting my deal? 

Even if you make it more realistic with $1.3m/$1.7m/$3m, the point still remains. You're not getting double. It gets even worse if we're saying that $2m/yr I am "offering" is including incentives. Are the incentives plausible to reach? Are you personally capable of making those incentives reached? (Trey can't single-handedly decide if we win the AFCC or SB, that's a team incentive, not an individual one, he can't help if it Volson starts yet again and gets Joe hurt.) So what if really I am offering a 3yr/$6m deal and it's actually a 3yr/$4m deal with $2m in incentives that you'll probably only reach 25% of? Then you plug that into the previous formula again.

Davante Adams signed a 5yr/$140m ($28m/yr) deal with the Raiders. 
He saw 3yr/$67.56m ($22.52m) of that despite putting up 3,700+ yards and 30 TDs.

He was "offered" $28m/yr. He didn't GET $28m/yr, he got only 80% of that.

The details are all that actually matter in a contract offer. The large numbers are a whole lot of smoke and mirrors for a press release if the details don't back it up.



Until we know the details, the Hendrickson offer could be "fair" or it could be adding a bunch of fluff numbers that he'll never see while he gets vastly underpaid compared to the market. So you can't tell him he should take it until then.
